The correct answer is the expansion of slavery.


When the United States expanded westward through the era of Manifest Destiny, the question remained as to whether these new states would be free or slave states. The US Congress tried several different solutions.


The first one was the Missouri Compromise, which allowed Missouri to enter as a slave state and Maine to enter as a free state. Along with this, the 36'30 line established that any new state north of this line would be a free state. Any new state south of this line would be a slave state.


This held up for about 30 years, until the issue of adding California arised after the Mexican-American War. The Compromise of 1850 solves this problem temporarily. However, the fight over slavery expanding would continue in places like Kansas and Nebraska, ultimately leading to the Civil War.

Elis [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Battle of Fredericksburg on December 13, 1862, involved nearly 200,000 combatants, the largest concentration of troops in any Civil War battle. Ambrose Burnside, the newly appointed commander of the Army of the Potomac, had ordered his more than 120,000 troops to cross the Rappahannock River, where they made a two-pronged attack on the right and left flanks of Robert E. Lee’s 80,000-strong Army of Northern Virginia at Fredericksburg. On both ends, Lee’s rebel defenders turned back the Union assault with heavy casualties (nearly 13,000), particularly from their high position atop Marye’s Heights. The results of the battle sent Union morale plummeting and lent much-needed new energy to the Confederate cause after the failure of Lee’s first invasion of the North at Antietam the previous fall.

Why did the United States introduce war on the side of the allies
makkiz [27]

In 1917, Germany, determined to win its war of attrition against the Allies, announced the resumption of unrestricted warfare in war-zone waters. Three days later, the United States broke diplomatic relations with Germany, and just hours after that the American liner Housatonic was sunk by a German U-boat.
